STRONG AN D WEAK.
How tho Poet Bryant Once Criticised Nc
elLst Cooper's EccentrIcity.

| How tho Poet Bryant o nee Criticised Nov
| elist Cooper's EccentrIcity.
Scores of great men know not where
their strength or their weakness lies.
| Cooper, the novelist, was an example
of this ignorance. He could depict
nature and the wild life of her children
SO that men, women and children
gazed on the pictures he drew, until
they knew them bs heart. He
| created characters, such as Leather
stocking, Long Tom Coffin and Uncas.
which are the noblest creations of
American fiction. Thackeray called
Leatherstocking one Of 1.-The great
| prize-men" of fiction. The elder
Dumas pronounced the character one
of the most interesting in all The realm
of fiction.
BY some peryersity Of temperament.
blot on the brain, perhaps, the novel
list thought himself fitted to teach his
countrymen morals, politics and re-
ligion. He put his notions into his
stories, and when his readers re-
monstrated against the affection, he in
sisted that they knew not what was
good for them.
81 think you lose your hold on the
American public by rubbing down
their shins with brick-bats, as you do"
wrote Greenough, the sculptor, to the
novelist. But Cooper would heed neither
the expostulations of friends, nor the
criticisms Of the press. The bowls and
squirming Of the patient were proof
to him that his ''shins" required the
irritation Of brickbats. He continued
the rubbing.
At the public meeting held in New
York to honor the novelists memory,
the poet Bryant told the story Of an
early adventure Of Cooper's, as an illus
tration of this mental popularity.
While Cooper was in the navy, he was
travelling in the wilderness bordering
upon Ontario. The party came upon
an inn, whose landlord met them with
a sorrowful countenance. He had
nothing, he assured them. in his house
which was fit to eat. When asked
what he had that was not fit to eat, he
replied that he could furnish them with
venison, pheasant, wild duck and fresh
trout. To the astonished travellers
question Of what better he supposed
they could wish. the landlord replied
that he thought they might have
wanted some salt pork.
Mr.. Bryant's application Of the
story to Cooper himself is An acute and
stirling critcisms Of the noyelist's &C.
centricity. He could fAscinate his read
es, but he would break the spell by Of
SGing them tie ''salt pork" Of common
place morAlizing ON their manners and
politics. he Is wise man who abides
within his imi&afiona.- You&k's Com.

generally.

At the meeting of the Council on
Monday evening, the matter of settle
ment with the bondsmen Of II. Sharp,
who was city treasurer at the time Of
the Henry Bank failure, was consider
ed. It will be remembered that soon
after said failure settlement was eff
fected whereby the bondsmen agreed
to pay the city seventy-fve per cent OF
the amount of city funds on deposit
in said bank, and paid down twenty
five per cent of such amount. 1t was
at that time considered that the bank
would doubtless pay creditors divi-
dends to the amount of at least fifty
per cent Since then dividend of ten
per cent only has been declared, and
this amount on the city funds has also
been paid over to the city. On Mon
day evening the bondsmen appeared
and offered to pay over fifty per cent
of the amount still remaining due on
their previous settlement, and abide
by an expression of the sentiment of
the voters of the city to be obtained
at the annual spring election, whether
they should be relieved from further
obligation or be obliged to pay twenty
five per cent more, which was required
of them by resolution passed at pre-
yious meeting of the Council. The
Council decided to accept the last
named proposition of the bondsmen,
who on Tuesday morning paid the
money to the city treasurer; and the
question of their release will be deter
mined 10y the voters of the city on
April 5th The amount of the city
funds on deposit at IIenrys Bank at
the time of the failure was $5,579,65,
and upon this amount the city has re-
ceived $3,06S.73. AS the money was
lost through no dishonesty on the part
of the treasurer, it seems to The Dem
ocrat that it would be nothing more
than right for the taxpayers of the
city to relieve the bondsmen of any
further burden on this account

The mining of zinc ore is one of
the paying industries about Mineral

well. John B. Wallis, Chris Bowden

of {" dry bone," or carbonate of zinc,
per day, which we are informed sells
for ten or twelve dollars per ton. The
Hoare Bros. are also raising large
quantities of the same ore, estimated
at eight to ten tons per week.
